http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_codecs

Some are opensource, som are not. There is no 'install'em all' package :P

Allthough, you can try and compile VLC

Sailfish OS uses gstreamer right? Should'nt it be relativly easy to compile gst-ffmpeg for sailfish?

Will have a look with mer platform-sdk in the future

Yes, probably also simple to compile VLC, did a small test here (at work LOL) and I dont think it should be to hard, will look into it later

A nice gui would probably be the most time consuming part

heh, yeah, I am not a GUI kinda guy. I love my commandline crap
But, perhaps, someone can add that to compiled code

What codecs are missing? Give me some examples and I'll look into it. Gst-ffmpeg is already installed by default but could of course be missing stuff that's been disabled for legal reasons. I can't find gst-plugins-ugly though. IIRC VLC is not yet ported to Qt5 so no luck there.

I think that they disabled them . AC3 is missing probably DTS and co too. Must test it soon

VP8 / VP9 are notably missing ("thanks" to Nokia for being a troll serving their MS overlords).

One can also build mplayer, or mpv. They support tons of codecs and don't rely on gstreamer (they use ffmpeg or libav directly).

For exemple I have recorded MP4 file with my Sony Cybershot and I can't read it with sailfish player why?

I need one codec (support all video and audio) to install in RPM file possible? with the terminal.

Like FFdshow
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ffdshow.htm

or FFmpeg
